Just what the title says. What are your dream Woodcats? If you have these species, please post pics!

My definite no.1 is , but the runner-ups are:

I love my Tatia perugaie.

I love how chubby perugiae's get.

C. schultzi are available from Frank's Aquarium right now. I'd get them but I am pressed for space and money.

I was eyeing those as well. They sure are stunning little fish, especially as adults!

Tocantinsia piresi.

I have a trio of , still tempted to add more! Much more active during daylight than some of the larger auchenipterids, stunning fish.
I've also kept - MatsP had these from me if memory serves?
Haven't kept but do have 8 - very, very nocturnal, since moving them to a larger, heavily planted and bogwood filled tank, have never seen them!
-- have kept a male of this species before, sadly lost it in a tank wipe-out and my current stock doesn't work with these, though they are really interesting fish to keep.
Not kept , but suspect these are like the other species, as would be ? I do have a trio of - again, very nocturnal, rarely see these.
- too big for my tanks!
- again, too big for my tank, though prefer which I think I may have kept many years ago, long before I knew of PC!
Good list! I like the look of too!

Now I'm even more tempted to get some, considering they're out during the day!

Anything particularly difficult about keeping them?

Mine took a few days to start feeding, and obviously their habits will depend on the tank inhabitants. Make sure they are not with anything that is too competitive for food, but they will take most frozen foods, and will come out with subdued lighting - surface plants will help!
The ones I have are already 3-4" so a good size, not sure how smaller ones would behave.

My dream I have in my group of nags. They are one of my favorite catfish.

Oh, and on aquabid, F1 Tatia strigata have been for sale for a while.

I have a group of the T. strigata and they are doing really well.

What PH do you keep them in? Also, what tankmates (if any) are with them?

I'll look out for those.
